2025 Come as You Were Preservation Ball

May we have this dance?

The Shenandoah Valley Civil War Era Dancers and the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District cordially invites you to join us at the Mimslyn Inn in Luray, Virginia, for an evening of dancing, socializing, and all around good fun!

The 2025 Come As You Were Preservation Ball will be held Saturday, March 29, 2025. There is a social hour from 6:00 - 7:00 pm with hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Dancing will commence at 7:00 pm and end about 10:00 pm. If you would like to stay at the Mimslyn Inn, “mention our name at the bell, and they will attend you” - that is to say, let them know you’re a guest of the Ball and they will give you a special room rate.

Attire can be a celebration of any historical era. Feel free to be creative!

Musicians of the evening will be Ben Miller and the Valley Pike Rounders.
